That would be one way of putting it and I would support that (in fact, I've implemented it!) Another way would be for RDF to recast its interface to the RDF/XML syntax in terms of the (an?) XML Infoset, or an RDF interpretation of it: An RDF Schema for the XML Information Set http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset-rdfs W3C Note 6 April 2001 XML in RDF in XML via XSLT: an infoset implementation http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2000Aug/0061.html -- Dan Connolly (connolly@w3.org), Aug 13 2000 In this case unknown XML attributes could be made to appear in terms the RDF world might understand, somehow.
